Lana in Blackberry

Tuesday, October 04, 2016

The change of season has lead to a lot of unsettled weather round our way. Sunshine, showers, swirling winds... you name it, it's been thrown into the mix over the last week or two. I've been thinking about my Autumn/Winter wardrobe and how to make sure I'm catered for in all situations. Jeans and jumpers are a must, which has drawn my attention rather sharply to my dwindling collection of each. The problem with wearing favourites so often is that they wear out rather inconveniently.

Of course thoughts of outerwear are surfacing more now too. I got through summer showers in my Fayda jacket which was a real asset bu now I'm looking for warmth as well. Enter my new Lana jacket in blackberry. What a beautiful shade; a rich purple which will complement so many colours in my wardrobe. Lovely to wear something which makes me feel good.

Autumn holds so much potential for exploring the great outdoors The gorgeous rich light, the whole new spectrum of colour seeping through the countryside. Seeking out new sights, foraging for treats to harvest and of course just the simplicity of wandering in a landscape you love. But go prepared! The nip of the chilly breeze and threats of rain can put pay to well laid plans unless you have a good coat on. Lighthouse clothing know all about what makes for a good adventuring jacket and as well as being super practical, they are also chic and luxurious.

The drawstrings to the waist make such a difference to me; I feel like a woman in this jacket instead of a snowglobe with legs. The pockets are sturdy, deep and you can also pop your hands in at the sides too, to keep them out of the wind. Quality materials, stitching, lining, good shape hood, nifty pockets and all carefully weighed up detail really does make the Lana jacket a real standout piece of outerwear. It's highly waterproof and breathable cotton outer which is windproof and a lightly padded brushed cotton chambray lining. The Lana also comes in sunrise yellow if you fancy an extra pop of colour.

A massive thank you to Lighthouse for sending me this jacket to wear. I'm so glad that it's mine to keep me snug and dry while I'm out exploring this season. They have a fantastic range to keep everyone kitted out and I'm a big fan of the brand and what they stand for. All opinions and content my own, as ever.Sophie
